Debug by Giving the AI the Error and the Context

The reliable way to get an AI to fix a bug: instead of saying 'it's broken' or 'that didn't work', you give it the exact error message, what you did to trigger it, what you expected, and the relevant code or files. Precise input turns a guessing game into a targeted fix.
